Hi all,
After running a macro on a part a feature was added in the tree. The macro swp file is now missing, actually I don't need it anymore.
The problem is that now I cannot delete the feature or roll back the feature tree. So actually I cannot edit this part.
Perhaps anyone knows how I can get rid of this? I'm hoping I wont have to re-model this part.
Please see attached images.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you
Hi Artem, Thanks for your reply!
I have paced a dummy macro, SW does pick it up but still it is not possible to delete it. The error message is just different now.
Perhaps you can advise on another method?
Thank you!
You need to create a dummy macro feature, not just any macro. And the names of the modules should match as well (I think). Where did you get this model from? Can you ask for the macro there?
I modeled it, and I also wrote the macro. I don't have it anymore...
Ok, do you remember the names for the functions and main module by any chance? Should be something like Module1 for module and swmRebuild etc for functions. If you would create a new macro with the correct naming (functions can be empty - that is ok) - this should work.
That worked! I managed to restore the correct functions.
After doing that I was able to delete the macro from the feature tree.
Thank you for you advise!
This thing you have in a tree called macro feature. You can read more about this here: Utilizing Macro Features in SOLIDWORKS API
If you cannot access the original macro, you can create a dummy macro feature and place it into that location, so SW will pick it up. Most likely it will fail to resolve the feature, but you will be able to delete the feature after that.
